The Global Innovation Index is computed as an average of the scores across
inputs pillars (describing the enabling environment for innovation) and output
pillars (measuring actual achievements in innovation). Five pillars constitute
the Innovation Input Sub-Index: 'Institutions,' 'Human capital and research,'
'Infrastructure', 'Market sophistication' and 'Business sophistication'. The
Innovation Output Sub-Index is composed of two pillars: 'Scientific outputs' and
'Creative outputs’. The Innovation Efficiency Index, calculated as the ratio of
the two Sub-Indices, examines how economies leverage their enabling environments
to stimulate innovation results. The GII covers 125 economies in the world.
WIPO Director General, Francis Gurry stressed that ‘Innovation is central to
economic growth and to the creation of new and better jobs. It is the key to
competitiveness for economies, for industries and for individual firms.’ He
added that ‘innovation and its many benefits do not come without the investment
of time, effort and human and financial resources,’ noting that this report
captures efforts by a large number of economies to provide an enabling
environment that promotes innovation.
